IIHF World Hockey Championships [56k Warning!]
Well i just got back from Game 1 and Canada beat Slovenia 5-1. Team Canada looked very impressive and if not for Slovenia's goaltender it would have easily hit double digits.

I saw the first period on TV in here Slovenia was on it's best. But they don't have the players good enough to beat big hockey teams like Canada or Russia!
Anyway I think that the team Canada looks good and they might meet team Russia in the finals. Our team will beat the living daylights out of team Sweden on the Bronze game

Almost time to go to the Canada vs Latvia game. The fans from Latvia are so crazy it's amazing watching their dedication to their team even if they don't have a top rated team.
I will post a coupe pics of their fans later tonight after I get home from the game

yes for sure, you must admit the first goal Finland was given should not have counted as the puck went through a hole in the side of the net

Well it looks like the USA gets another shot at the Fins, and yes we owned them in my opinion which doesnt often happen between Canada and Finland
